CD Baby…

Yesterday I placed an Order for THE KIERAN RIDGE BAND CD through CD Baby.com. If you go back through the archives you will remember that Kieran Ridge is a Boston Based Blues Rock singer who also happens to have gone to college with me. Yesterday when I was looking up folk singers and musicians I went to his site to check out the latest news and see if the band was performing near me at any time. They are actually in the studio now recording a new album.

Anyway, I placed an order for his debut album. And the following this the confirmation from CD Baby.com letting me know my CD was shipped.

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved ‘Bon Voyage!’ to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, September 22nd.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as ‘Customer of the Year’. We’re all exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

This of course is a much better message than the one I got from Action-HQ when they sent me a banged up Binaltech Silverstreak and basically told me “Too Bad, So Sad about our incompetence of shipping products.”
